Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Yesterday afternoon we received the custody evaluators report.

It is not good.

I need to prepare to say goodbye to my son, goodbye to homeschooling him, goodbye to the current way of life for our family.

I don't know if I'll be back on here or not.

You are all so wonderful and giving, and it is just too hard to pretend everything is okay when it's not.

It stinks that I can't tell you all what is happening, that I can't share it with any of my friends - and that is what you have all become.

There is so much more that I want to say. I can't. I'm crying to hard to type.

Oh dearest Paula...know that in your silence, our hearts break with you, and that in your tears, we bear your pain too. Even though we do not know all that is happening, we know the pain of loss you feel is devastating, and we will not let you go without much, much prayer support.
Know that you arei n our hearts and we will continue to lift you up as you walk this tough road.

Oh Paula - my heart is breaking over hearing this news. I'm just without words. What pain!

Colleen is right - we share in your tears and in your pain and we're standing right next to you at the Foot of this Cross whether you are here or not!

I'm offering up for you, dearest Paula! ...and my heart is breaking with yours.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I can't understand why this is happening. Of course I will pray and pray...

Please know that your presence here has always been a blessing, especially for me...it's a privilege to pray for you and to be a part of your journey. You don't have to pretend everything is okay - we know it isn't - being yourself is just fine.
